Alison Chace and Lauren Schaffel To Star in Industry Reading of HERE COMES THE NIGHT

Mark your calendars for an unforgettable evening as Alison Chace and Lauren Schaffel take the spotlight in an exclusive reading of the compelling play by Lisa Kenner Grissom, Here Comes The Night. Elyssa Nicole Trust will narrate. This gripping performance is set to captivate audiences and ignite conversations, all under the direction of the talented Illana Stein.

 

Here Comes The Night Synopsis: In Here Comes The Night, we follow the lives of Olivia, a devoted musician's wife and passionate climate science advocate, and Maggie, an old friend turned social media influencer. Olivia invites Maggie to spend a weekend with her as she embarks on an at-home medication abortion. Little does Olivia know that Maggie, though well-intentioned, is about to send her life spiraling in unexpected directions. These two women, from different generations, are about to profoundly impact each other's lives, all due to a woman's fundamental right to choose.

 

As they grapple with their decisions, they find themselves providing support and insight in ways they could never have foreseen. Here Comes The Nightraises essential questions about how a woman's right to choose can influence the trajectory of her entire life. The play navigates complex themes, including abortion, body autonomy, friendship, and the unforeseen consequences of choices we make.
